Abstract: In recent years, China has incorporated “new infrastructure” into its national development strategy, clearly stating that a modern infrastructure system should be developed on the basis of new and high technology infrastructure. This infrastructure system is expected to be intensive, efficient, affordable, intelligent, green, safe, and reliable. During the 14th five-year plan period, the new infrastructure will become an investment priority in order for post-pandemic economic recovery and high-quality development driven by innovation. This paper focuses on the development trend and energy consumption model of the new infrastructure, such as 5G base stations, data centers, and electric vehicles. The electricity demand of the new infrastructure in the 14th five-year plan period is forecasted, and the impact of new infrastructure on power system is analyzed, which will provide a reference for the energy and power system planning in the 14th five-year plan period.

Key words: new infrastructure, 5G base station, data center, electric vehicle, electric train, electricity demand forecast
